Megan is without a doubt 'baby crazy.' She LOVES babies. With her waifish finger she points them out at restaurants, wanders up to them at malls to say hi, and even makes sure her baby doll sleeps in the crib with her at night.
So when our friends Pete and Dinah had their precious daughter, Sloane, there was little doubt we had to introduce Megan to her. On the drive to South Bend, Megan napped for an hour and then we spent the remaining part of the drive practicing saying the baby's name, which came out 'SWOWN" with her best attempts. The L sound escapes her at the moment.
Dinah and Sloane, now four weeks old, greeted us from their veranda and Megan made a beeline for the baby. All attempts at names were out the window. It was "BABY BABY BABY" the whole afternoon. On our walk to the park, it was "Hi Baby!" And during a relaxing early dinner of pizza she was intent on staring at Sloane the entire time.
So seeing her caring, gentle, and loving side to Sloane was reassuring to me. So IF (hey mom, notice I said 'if') we try for a second child, I know that Megan will make a great older sister. At least until they try to take her toys from her.

Hey Brian, I also notice you said "they" when refering to any possible future Megan siblings ;-)
